Bayonetta 2 is an action game developed by Platinum Games and published by Nintendo. It was released exclusively for the Wii U in October, 2014, and is a sequel to the original Bayonetta.

The game follows the story of Bayonetta, one of the last Umbra Witchs still in existence, that fights angels for a living. After an immense battle on the surface, Jeanne, Bayonetta's ally, is injured. Her sould is knocked out of her body by the demon dragon Gomorrah. Jeanne is captured before she could return to her body and is dragged down into Inferno. Bayonetta must now fight her way through Inferno, Paradiso, and Earth to retrieve Jeanne's soul, a task that is said to not have any odds in her favor.

Bayonetta 2 is a third-person action game and will likely play very similar to its predecessor. The player uses melee and long ranged attacks to accomplish complex combos as well as evasive moves for dodging attacks. Bayonetta's over-the-top signature Torture attacks, Wicked Weaves, and Witch Time all return, as do demon summons for Climax attacks.

Bayonetta 2 will feature a hefty arsenal of weapon unlockable by gathering halos and angelic disks. New in the sereis is the customization. Bayonetta will be able to equip weapons seperately to both her hands and feet, rather than a single type for both. She can also be equipped with 2 presets that can be changed at any time during battle.
